My Dearmond pickup is "the" pickup preferred by many blues players for their National Steels. Bonnie Rait and many others have the same pikcup installed on Thier Nationals. It is a small, very thin chrome-plated pickup with ears that was originally intended for acoustic guitar. Mine came with a chrome plated control unit that has 2 small knobs, vol and tone, with clear plastic knobs. I'd like to somehow find a way of mounting it on my Dobro. The pickup can be mounted using double-stick tape. The control unit could easily by mounted to 2 screws that hold the cover plate down. I'd like to find a 1/4" jack that attaches to the end pin, usually on a 90 degree angle, held down with a 1/2 round metal bracket. If anyone knows where I can find this type of jack, let me know. I've checked Stew-Mac, Luthiers Merchantile, Allparts, and several other sites to no avail.
